Seddon Construction Scoops Two Contracts Worth £12m
Staffordshire County Council has selected Seddon Construction to build two new schools which will help meet the need for more primary school places in Burton-on-Trent.
The Seddon team has just started building a brand-new home for St Modwen’s Primary School which is due for completion in early 2014. They have also begun work on the new Scientia Academy building with the first phase set to be completed by the end of August and the second phase due to be completed by the end of December 2013.
Seddon has been chosen for the two contracts, together worth £12 million, through its membership of Staffordshire County Council’s construction framework. Seddon is already working on a £4 million project to deliver the new Christchurch Primary School in Burton-on-Trent.
Seddon Construction managing director Jonathan Seddon said: "We are proud to be working with Staffordshire County Council to deliver these modern new learning environments. It is exciting to see work beginning on these projects which will help answer the need for more primary school places locally while delivering state-of-the-art educational facilities for pupils and teachers."
Both the St Modwen's Primary School development and the Scientia Academy are being built using a sustainable cross laminated timber frame construction system which is manufactured off-site to a high standard. The system delivers overall quality improvements, as well as enabling construction time to be reduced and leading to increased air tightness and less waste.
